For a moment, a face flashed before my eyes—the most hideous face I’d ever seen. No matter how hard I tried to forget what had happened, I saw him everywhere I went. It was Loki—the evil god that I’d helped set free against my will.
I should have known that my first official date with Logan Quinn was destined to end in disaster. If we’d gotten into a swordfight, or been ambushed by Reapers, I’d have been more prepared. But getting arrested mid-sip at the local coffee hangout? I didn’t see that one coming.
I’ve been accused of purposely helping the Reapers free Loki from his prison—and the person leading the charge against me is Linus Quinn, Logan’s dad. The worst part is that pretty much everyone at Mythos Academy thinks I’m guilty. If I’m going to get out of this mess alive, I’ll have to do it myself…
I am torn with this book. My emotions are everywhere.
Crimson Frost has enough action in it, the romance is even bolder, more secrets
come out, and tons of betrayal takes place, but the turn of events really
bugged me. It’s wasn’t enough for me to not finish the book, but enough that I
want to scream and rip my hair out. This is also a good thing though, huh? I
love when a book makes me feel this way, but I don’t love when I have to wait
long for the next in the series to see what happens.
The story does move along, and Crimson Frost is
definitely not a fill in for
the series, but WHY? Why Jennifer Estep? Why kill me this way?!?!? LOL!
All the mystery in the book and the guessing game I was
playing by myself, kept me at the edge of my seat.
In Crimson Frost you follow Gwen and her struggles of
trying to prove her innocence. She has been accused (SPOILER FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NOT READ THE FIRST COUPLE OF BOOKS) of
freeing Loki on purpose and working with him. And that’s not even the worst part
about it. She is arrested and being charged by Logan’s father; so much for
getting on Daddy’s good side. Adding the cherry to the top, everyone at her
school begins to give her a very hard time. It really got to me all the
bullying and attempts at hurting Gwen over something she did not do. I wanted
to reach inside the book and strangle each and every one. I wanted to slap Gwen
for trying to be the nice person all the time.
I have to admit that the first couple of chapters were
interesting, but I felt the story didn’t really kick off until midway through
the story. When Gwen finally figured out the villains plans was when things
really hit the fan and left me yelling NO!
I realize that this review probably sounds negative.
Trust me, it’s not. This series brings out so many different emotions in me and
leaves me either so content with it that I am ranting on and on about it, or so
frustrated that I am yelling at people to read it so that I am not alone in
this emotional rollercoaster. I am really invested in this series, and even
though I did not like some of the events that took place in this book, I am
still going to continue reading it and recommend it to others. Jennifer Estep
has done her job with entertaining me and keeping me intrigued. And now to wait
for the next book in the series… I need it now!
3.5 out of 5 Stars!
